    Turbo 05

    I took my turbo silverado to the dyno finally. Well I've been a member for a while, but never posted so i guess we can consider this a introduction also. I'm from prairie grove, ar. its by fayetteville. I have a 05 4.8 4x4 sc swb. I did a diy rear mount turbo. Its a master power T70 .68 A/R. No mods to the motor other than injectors. This is the first time i've ever done a project myself like this, and it was a blast. I ran 9lbs of boost and got 374hp and 403 torque. Its not as much as some, but i was happy with my results. Haven't gone to the track yet, but am pushing to go in April.

    Not bad at all for 9 lbs and stock cam from a 4.8.

    Welcome BTW.

    thanks guy. some bad news on my part is the tranny is now craped out. Only got first gear. i took the pan off. The fluid and filter was fine, but the band is extremely loose. I did have a Transgo Reprogram kit in it, but the tranny definatly wasn't ready. Its good to know that my second vehical isn't drivable right now either.
    I was happy with the numbers. The turbo is a lil big, but its alright. makes boost startin about 2600. Definatly gonna need a converter to get out of the hole, and get a tougher tranny. but all in all i'm happy with the #'s with it bein four wheel drive.

    Those are some descent numbers I ran a MP T70 for a while when I had the 4.8 and STS. A little lagy but not bad. Find ya a LS6 cam and springs. They are pretty cheep and will make a BIG difference in HP output. Good luck on your new tranny
